Mem_o,, :re Contract with Noble Harbor En ering cont °d
''The whole contract does not indicate the engineer is responsible for any
appearances before the State other than satisfying the State with the engineering
feasibility of his work. It as my opinion that he is not required to justify his
engineering, 'work from an economic standpoint, Any such work in this latter
category would .justify an extra fee. Differences between the engineer and State ,
as to estimated :cost fall into the economics of the situation and not engineering, "
There was discussion relative to the substance of -the above paragraph,
after which the Erity Manager was directed.to draft a letter to Mr. Noble, inform-
ing him that the Council had reviewed his letter and had agreed he would be paid
for services' .in :the.future)in,connection With.,meetings � working out; details with
